Case Study: PRESTO A45t Process system
Cooling a Chemglas 10 l reactor from +20 °C to -20 °C with a PRESTO A45t Process system
Objective
This case study tests the cooling capacity of the JULABO PRESTO A45t Process system with a 10 l glass reactor. The PRESTO A45t is connected to the reactor via two 2 m long metal hoses. The PRESTO A45t Process system has been programmed to cool down from +20 °C to -20 °C.
